Box Layout Invisible components can be added to a box layout container to take up space between components Rigid areas have a fixed size Glue specifies where excess space should go Invisible components are created using these methods of the Box class: 	createRigidArea(Dimension d) 	createHorizontalGlue() 	createVerticalGlue() See BoxPanel.java Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Borders An empty border buffers the space around the edge of a component otherwise has no visual effect A line border surrounds the component with a simple line the line's color and thickness can be specified An etched border creates the effect of an etched groove around a component uses colors for the highlight and shadow Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Borders A bevel border can be raised or lowered uses colors for the outer and inner highlights and shadows A titled border places a title on or around the border the title can be oriented in many ways A matte border specifies the sizes of the top, left, bottom, and right edges of the border separately uses either a solid color or an image Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Borders A compound border is a combination of two borders one or both of the borders can be a compound border See BorderDemo.java Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
